[0019] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain the present application, and are not used to limit the present application.

[0020] Embodiment

[0021] Please refer to Figure 1, glass bottle shoulder bottle opening combined detection device, at least contains two groups of high-resolution industrial camera one and the matching lens. Industrial camera one 1 and lens are installed at a specific angle and position, the field of view accurately covers the glass bottle shoulder area, can capture the fine texture and potential defects of the part; industrial camera two 2 and lens two 21 focus on the bottle opening part, ensure the clear imaging of the complex structure of the bottle opening, provide high-quality image data for subsequent accurate detection.

[0022] The backlight source assembly 3 is designed as a surround backlight source, which is uniformly distributed around the glass bottle detection position. The stable high-intensity light emitted by the backlight source assembly 3 can penetrate the glass bottle body, enhance the contrast between the bottle body and the defects, effectively highlight the defect profile such as crack, gap, etc., assist the camera to obtain clearer image, and improve the detection accuracy.

[0023] Control module, vision processing module and display assembly: the control module is a high-performance computer terminal, the vision processing module is installed in the computer terminal, and the computer terminal is connected with the light source assembly through high-speed data transmission line. The vision processing module has built-in existing deep learning algorithm model, which has powerful image analysis processing capability; the display assembly directly shows the detection process data, image and final result in real time, which is convenient for the operator to monitor and manage the detection process.

[0024] In the vision processing module, the existing TensorFlow or PyTorch framework can be developed, which provides rich tools and function library, which is convenient for building complex neural network model for image recognition and segmentation task. Through the training of a large number of glass bottle defect samples, the software can learn the feature mode of various defects (such as crack, gap, etc.) of bottle shoulder and bottle opening. In actual detection, when the image captured by the camera is transmitted into the software, the model will analyze the image, identify the area where the defect may exist, and further extract the detailed information of the defect such as length, width, contrast, shape complexity, etc. through the subsequent existing Blob analysis algorithm. The device has significant innovation and competitive advantage.

[0025] Further, in the actual working process, the glass bottle is orderly conveyed to the detection table 100 by the feeding conveying assembly 4. When the glass bottle reaches the preset detection position, the proximity sensor is triggered, and the proximity sensor sends a signal to the control module. The control module synchronously instructs the industrial camera one 1 and two to start the lens one 11 and two to shoot, and simultaneously starts the backlight source assembly 3, and the camera instantly captures the image of the glass bottle shoulder and bottle opening, which is transmitted to the computer terminal at high speed through the data transmission line.

[0026] The visual processing module in the computer uses a pixel segmentation model based on deep learning to perform in-depth analysis of the images. This model, trained on a large number of glass bottle defect samples, can accurately identify various defect characteristics. During the analysis process, the image is first pre-processed, with operations such as noise reduction and contrast enhancement to improve image quality; then, image features are extracted using existing technologies such as convolutional neural networks, and compared with the defect feature library in the pre-trained model to locate potential defect areas. After the initial detection, the Blob analysis algorithm is used to further process the defect area, accurately calculating detailed parameter information such as the length, width, contrast, and shape complexity of the defect.

[0027] Based on the above analysis results, the software strictly judges the defect information according to the preset judgment rules. For example, for crack defects, set the length threshold and depth threshold, when the crack length exceeds the specified value or the depth reaches a certain level, the product is determined as NG (not qualified);

[0028] For notch defects, the area and edge irregularity are used as indicators for judgment. Finally, the control system drives the first output device to transport the NG products to the designated collection box 6, ensuring that qualified products smoothly enter the subsequent production link, and realizing an efficient and automated detection process.

[0029] Further, during installation in the production workshop layout, the detection device is positioned reasonably based on the direction and speed of the glass bottle conveyor on the production line. The feeding conveyor assembly 4 closely connects with the upstream production equipment, ensuring smooth transition and accurate positioning of the glass bottle in the detection area. After installation, the system is debugged. First, use standard defect sample glass bottles to calibrate the camera, adjust the focal length, aperture, and other parameters to make the bottle shoulder and mouth image clear and sharp; at the same time, test and optimize the sensor sensitivity to ensure accurate triggering of the detection program.

[0030] For different types of cosmetic glass bottles (such as cream bottles, perfume bottles, etc.), collect a large number of sample image data and use deep learning algorithms to train the model. During the training process, continuously adjust the model parameters to optimize the defect recognition ability, and after at least 1000 rounds of training and verification, the model can achieve ideal precision and stability in actual detection.

[0031] During daily production operations, the equipment continuously monitors the status of the feeding conveyor component 4. Once a glass bottle enters the detection area and triggers the proximity sensor, the detection process is immediately initiated. Images captured by an industrial camera are transmitted in real-time to a computer, where vision processing software rapidly analyzes and processes them. The detection results are displayed on the monitor screen within 0.5 seconds. For defective products, the first output device responds quickly, pushing them to the collection box 6 via an electric telescopic rod. Qualified products, driven by the second conveyor belt, continue flowing through the detection station 100 to the next connected conveyor for subsequent packaging processes. The entire process is fully automated and seamless, ensuring efficient, stable, and orderly production, effectively improving the quality and efficiency of the company's glass bottle production.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
